Hi, Thanks a lot for reporting.

So probably nothing needs to be done here. I cannot find any other workaround than yours. I guess we'll have to live with this simple backporting hack. > When it came to installation, I got this error > > adduser: Please enter a username matching the regular expression configured > via the NAME_REGEX configuration variable.

I decided to go with --force-badname and use --force-all to replace --force in the dpkg-stateoverride call. Thanks a lot, Alex
